Alright so have you ever learned something and after you learned it you couldn't look at things the same way again? In my case I can no longer look at street signs, billboards, magazines, anything that has letters on it the same again! Last semester I learned about typography. For example serifs and san serifs--serif means having tails (like that in the typography image) and san serifs means no tails. Now everywhere I go I pay close attention to things such as that. Also in magazines I'm starting to pay attention to the indents, paragraphing, font sizes, font types, and just how magazine stories and pictures are arranged. Before I just used to read magazines you know! Am I alone on this? Please let me know if you do the same so I don't feel like a psycho? Check out the link also. I think I'm going to attempt it. If it works out, I'll post the image.

I definitely feel the same way. I took a film class in high school that was so interesting and now makes me pay really close attention to different techniques and styles of videography that filmmakers use. I'm glad for the class because I learned so much, but at the same time it's kind of annoying that I can't just sit back and enjoy the movie without overanalyzing it!
I agree, but I really enjoy seeing evetyhing for what is it and how it was made now! I think its so interesting to be able to understand and figure out how things were designed and created. But i understand the frustration!
this sounds really interesting
